    Osteoporosis Treatment

    A condition causing bones to become weak and brittle, increasing fracture risk.

    Understanding Osteoporosis

    Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones gradually become thinner and less dense, so they break more easily. It is often called the 'silent disease' because there are usually no symptoms until a bone fractures.

    At Crest Natural Health Centre, we support bone health naturally with NDA-registered homeopathic medicine alongside nutrition and lifestyle guidance.

    Common Symptoms

    Often no symptoms until a bone breaks
    Fractures from only a minor fall or knock
    Gradual loss of height
    A stooped or forward-bending posture
    Lower back pain
    Shortness of breath if the spine is affected

    Causes & Triggers

    Bone is constantly renewed, but after about the age of 35 the body replaces it more slowly than it loses it, so bones gradually thin.
    The risk is highest in women after the menopause, and rises with age and a naturally slim frame.
    Too little calcium or vitamin D, and too little weight-bearing exercise, weaken the bones further.
    Smoking and heavy drinking also speed up bone loss.

    Risks of Delaying Care

    The main danger is fractures — most often of the hip, wrist, and spine — from only a minor fall.
    Crushed (compression) fractures of the spine cause height loss and a stooped posture.
    Hip fractures in particular can seriously affect independence and mobility.

    How We Diagnose It

    A bone X-ray to check for thinning or fractures
